I find that the great thing
in this world is not so much
where we stand as in what
direction we are moving;
To reach the port of heaven,
we must sail sometimes with
the wind, sometimes against it
but we must sail, and not drift,
nor lie at anchor.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
Quote from the "The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table (1858)" Chapter IV.
Maybe does it also work in English, but the title comes from a well-known expression
in French "Un vent de litterature" which means an excitement about literature.
Through book pages, and imagination, one can sail, and even fly...
